About the IMPACTT™
On-Site System
IMPACTT™ is a commercially available product-line designed to fill gaps in team training by improving communication and collaborative decision making. IMPACTT™ On-Site and IMPACTT™ Remote enable learners to train in-person and/or join training sessions from remote locations using their own PC or VR headset. IMPACTT™ also includes an innovative Instructor and Assessment tablet that automatically tracks learner performance.
The IMPACTT™ On-Site Team Trainer supports the training and assessment of clinical diagnosis, critical decision-making, and interprofessional teamwork in emergency medicine. Using the Immersive Modular Patient Care Team Trainer, multiple learners participate in the shared experience of treating realistic virtual patients whose vital signs, diagnostic tests, and medical outcomes depend on collaborative decision-making, as well as the individual skills of each participant.
A user-provided large flat screen monitor provides a consistent overhead Shared Virtual Patient view of the patient’s appearance and behaviors, and of each intervention initiated by the learners, including the patient’s response. Each learner also has a tablet with a personal view of the patient. In this view, they can maneuver around the patient, zoom in to a selected body area, or perform an intervention. Interventions can be performed by tapping on a body part and then selecting from alternatives displayed in context-sensitive radial menus.
An IMPACTT™ On-site System includes:
- A Compact Core (Blue Box) that includes Communications Hardware, Simulation Management Software, and Physiology Engine
- Five (5) Learner/Instructor Tablets each of which is pre-loaded with both Learner and Instructor/Assessment apps.
- Five (5) Virtual Equipment (VE) tablets, each of which is pre-loaded with Seven (7) Virtual Equipment simulations (2 Patient Monitors, 2 Ventilators, Triple IV Pump, Urine Gauge, and Lab Tests)
- An Instructor PC that includes the Shared View display application.
- Carrying Case for all components, suitable for checked airline baggage.
- Installation and Operation Guides.
IMPACTT™ supports two training modes for each patient case:
- Team Communications Training. This mode emphasizes the deliberate use of teamwork protocols such as TeamSTEPPS®. Learners are assessed on their use of closed loop communication, clear assignment of tasks, identifying concerns, and other teamwork strategies.
- Emergency Medical Treatment Training. This mode emphasizes the protocols and critical decision-making of Advanced Trauma Life Support (ATLS), Advanced Burn Life Support (ABLS), and other guidelines for emergency intervention.
IMPACTT™ On-Site Instructor App provides the instructor with:
- A Dashboard to load scenarios and monitor simulation sessions
- Both Teamwork and Cognitive Assessment screens that automatically record learner actions and instructor observation inputs.
- The ability to store time-stamped learner performance data for analysis, scoring or after-action review.
Learner & Instructor Tablets
Learner Tablet
Instructor Tablet
For each scenario, a learner assumes a role such as Physician, Nurse, Technician, or Respiratory Tech. The learner tablets enable each provider to perform interventions that are displayed on both the learner tablets and the virtual patient shared view.
Instructor Tablet includes tabs for Scenario Control and Learner Assessment. The module automatically records and displays each learner action while treating the patient. The instructor may also note the use of team communication and appropriateness of the actions.
Virtual Equipment
Learners interact with virtual medical equipment, including a ventilator, patient monitor, triple IV pump, urine gauge, and lab reports. Each item of equipment is simulated on a standard touch screen tablet and includes a graphical user interface that functions like the actual medical device.
Transportability
Compact Core
Vcom3D Compact Core includes computer hardware, a wireless router, power sourcing equipment (PSE), and embedded MoHSES core software. The pre-loaded software includes the simulation engine, module manager, and BioGears® physiology engine.
IMPACTT™ AR/VR
Our Immersive Modular Patient Care Team Trainer (IMPACTT™) supports the training and assessment of clinical diagnosis, critical decision-making, and interprofessional teamwork in emergency medicine. Vcom3D is excited to announce our new IMPACTT™ with Augmented and/or Virtual Reality (AR/VR). This trauma team trainer provides an immersive VR experience shared by instructor, learners, and observers, which can also be simulated through Augmented Reality with a stunning 3D virtual patient. Instructor and Participants may be in the same facility or geographically remote. The IMPACTT Instructor Station is the same as the IMPACTT™ Remote Instructor Station plus a MetaQuest headset. Learners may use their own laptop and VR headset. If Learner does not have a VR headset, they may use their PC.
IMPACTT™ Remote
The IMPACTT™ Remote Team Trainer supports the training and assessment of clinical diagnosis, critical decision-making, and interprofessional teamwork in emergency medicine. Using the Immersive Modular Patient Care Team Trainer, multiple learners participate in the shared experience of treating realistic virtual patients whose vital signs, diagnostic tests, and medical outcomes depend on collaborative decision-making, as well as the individual skills of each participant.
IMPACTT™ Remote Features include:
• An instructor can initiate and monitor a training session with up to eight remote participants who communicate via MS Teams or Zoom while collaboratively assessing, diagnosing, and treating a shared patient case.
• Each participant interacts with the patient by selecting from over 150 available interventions and by using simulated equipment such as patient monitor, laboratory and imaging diagnostics, ventilator, IV pump, and urine gauge.
• Physiological and behavioral response of virtual patients is computed automatically by the IMPACTT™ physiological models, enabling the instructor to focus on assessing and remediating learner performance.
• Automated recording of learner actions supplements the instructor’s observations to provide comprehensive assessment tools.
• IMPACTT™ Remote uses the same patient cases as IMPACTT™ On-site, enabling organizations to train geographically distributed teams.
